Understanding Your Child's Brain simplifies the neuroscience behind what is going on in a child’s brain during the first six years of life to help parents develop the full intellectual and emotional potential of their children.
The book starts with an accessible explanation of the pillars and principals to understanding the child’s brain. It then provides tools to helps parents communicate more effectively with, nurture empathy in, and enforce rules and positive behaviours for their children. Examining how to develop the emotional intelligence of children as well as their intellect, the chapters examine how to raise children based on trust, assertiveness, and fearlessness, while also providing support and exercises in improving language, memory, creativity, and self-control.
This book offers parents and educators practical solutions to parenting problems and realistic advice for ensuring the healthy emotional and intellectual development of their children. It will also be relevant to all mental health professionals who want to be more assertive when talking to parents about their child’s problems and growth.
